Mater Ecclesiae is newly established with its first seven primary schools joining in December 2022. Further schools wish to join in the coming year, working towards the Diocese of Lancaster’s vision that 23 schools across Preston and rural Preston will in time be part of Mater Ecclesiae Catholic Multi-Academy Trust.

This is an opportunity to lead the Trust’s organisational development and change, establish the Mater Ecclesiae culture and to have an impact on the education of young people across the Preston area.
